A. south-east B. south-west C. north-east D. north-west 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：中国东北部是一个滑雪的好地方。厚厚的积雪能使山脉和森林变成一个白色的世界。 考查方位词辨析。south-east东南部；south-west西南部；north-east东北部；north-west西北部。根据后句“The thick snow can make the mountains and forests a white world.”可猜测出，应是中国东北部是一个滑雪的好地方。故选C。 2. How beautiful the cranes look! Words can’t ________ their beauty. A understand B. describe C. report D. write 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：鹤看起来多美啊！言语无法形容他们的美丽。 考查动词辨析。understand理解；describe描述，形容；report报道；write写；根据句意理解可知，语言是用来描述一件事情的，所以这里应该用describe，故选B。 3. Cranes usually fly to warm places in autumn, _________ sparrows never fly so far. A. while B. because C. if D. so 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：鹤通常在秋天飞往温暖的地方，而麻雀从不飞那么远。 考查连词辨析。while然而；because因为；if如果；so所以。根据“Cranes usually fly to warm places in autumn”和“sparrows never fly so far”可知，前后两句是对比鹤和麻雀不同的飞行习性，所以用while来引出这种对比关系，故选A。 4. —Red-crowned cranes need more people’s help. —Yes. People working in the reserves are doing everything they can _______ these birds. A. protect B. protecting C. to protecting D. to protect 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：----丹顶鹤需要更多人的帮助。-----是的。在保护区工作的人们正在尽其所能保护这些鸟。考查动词形式。本句的主语是People working in the reserves，谓语是are doing，宾语是everything they can， they can是定语从句，后面省略动词do，修饰everything。谓语动词后面跟动词，使用非谓语动词，非谓语动词包括分词（现在分词和过去分词）和动词不定式。动词不定式做状语一般表示目的或程度，分词做状语通常表示“伴随，时间或原因”等。本句是使用动词不定式做目的状语；结合句意可知填to protect；选D。 5.

A. fewer and fewer; less and less B. more and more; less and less C. less and less; fewer and fewer D. fewer and fewer; fewer and fewer 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：据说这个地区居住的鸟越来越少。这是因为人们不断侵占它们的土地，留给它们的空间也越来越少。 考查形容词比较级辨析。fewer and fewer修饰可数名词复数，表示“越来越少”；less and less修饰不可数名词，表示“越来越少”。第一空birds为可数名词复数，需用fewer and fewer；第二空space为不可数名词，需用less and less。故选A。 6. —________ exciting news report it is! You must read it. —Oh, yes. It ________ our school won the football match finally. A. What an; says B. What; tells C. How an; says D. How; tells 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——这是一篇多么令人兴奋的新闻报道啊！你一定要读一读。——哦，是的。它说我们学校最终赢得了足球比赛。 考查感叹句和动词辨析。says说；tells告诉。“What + (a/an) + 形容词 + 可数名词单数 + 其他成分！”是常用感叹句结构，report是可数名词单数，exciting是以元音音素开头的单词，所以用What an；此处表示新闻报道上写着的内容，即强调内容，用say更合适。故选A。 7. —Will you buy the jeans? —Well, I can’t decide which ________ to buy. I think the jeans ________ are nice. But I am short of money. A one; themselves B. pair; themselves C. one; itself D. pair; itself 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你要买这条牛仔裤吗？——嗯，我无法决定买哪条。我觉得这些牛仔裤本身挺不错的。但是我缺钱。 考查代词辨析和反身代词。one泛指一个；pair（由两个相连的类似部分组成的）一套。根据“Will you buy the jeans?”和“I can’t decide which ... to buy.”可知，无法决定买哪条，用pair代替jeans，排除AC。themselves它们自己；itself它自己。根据“I think the jeans ... are nice.”可知，jeans是复数，此处用themselves。故选B。 8. —Can I tell Tony about it? —No, I don’t want anyone else to know it. Please keep it to ________. A. yourselves B. yourself C. himself D. myself 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我可以告诉托尼吗？——不能，我不想让其他人知道。请你保守秘密。 考查反身代词。yourselves你们自己；yourself你自己；himself他自己；myself我自己。keep it to oneself“保守秘密”，反身代词与主语保持一致。根据句意可知是“请你保守秘密”，反身代词用yourself，故选B。 9. —Did you enjoy your trip to Hainan? —I really had great fun! It couldn’t be ________. A. worst B. better C. worse D. best 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你喜欢你的海南之旅吗？——我真的玩得很开心！它再好不过了。 考查形容词辨析。worst最糟糕的；better更好的；worse更糟糕的；best最好的。根据“It couldn’t be...”可知，此处使用“否定词+比较级”，表示“再……也不为过”，根据“I really had great fun!”可知，这次旅行很棒，所以用better。故选B。 10. The word “ ” has the same meaning as the word “holiday”. A. eraser B. elevator C. vacation D. soccer 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：单词“vacation”与单词“holiday”意思相同。 考查同义词。eraser橡皮擦；elevator电梯；vacation假期；soccer足球。“holiday”意为“假期”，而“vacation”在英文中同样表示“假期”，两者为同义词，故选C。 11. —___________ do you have a sports meeting at your school? —Every year.

Why do some people change their names? There can be many reasons. Hanna changed her name to Anne because she thought it would be easier for people to remember. Joseph is thinking about changing his name to an unusual name because he wants to be different. People have a lot of reasons for changing their names. Film stars, singers, sportsmen and some famous people often change their names because they want names that are not ordinary, or that have a special sound. They chose the “new names” for themselves instead of the names their parents gave them when they were born. Some people have another reason for changing their names. They have moved to a new country and want to use a name that is usual there. For example, Li Kaiming changed his name to Ken Lee when he moved to the United States. He uses the name Ken at his job and at school. But with his family and Chinese friends, he uses Li Kaiming. For some people, using different names makes life easier in their new country. In many countries, a woman changes her family name to her husband’s after she gets married. But today, many women are keeping their own family names and not using their husband’s. Sometimes, women use their own names in some situations and their husbands’ in other situations. And some use both their own names and their husbands’. 34. Hanna changed her name to________. A.

Yang Lin lives in the U.S. but comes from an area in China famous for growing tea. She used to only drink tea while in China. But now, she says, she drinks both for different reasons. “I would say...I was a tea drinker when I was in China. But now, you know, with the influence of different holiday drinks...I think I like coffee as well as tea now.” Yang Lin says that drinking coffee for her is a social event. She and her workmates like to sit in a café and talk over a cup of coffee. Tea, she says, is more about family memories. She grew up in Fujian Province—an area known for its tea. Ms. Yang says that as a child, her family would get together in the evening and talk about the day’s events over a pot of tea. So now, even the smell of Fujian tea brings back these warm family memories. Voyo is another Chinese woman who now lives in Washington D.C. She says that after moving to the U.S. her tastes changed. We would call her a coffee convert, someone who now chooses to drink coffee. “I used to be a tea drinker before I came to the United States. But now I am a coffee drinker and actually getting to be a very heavy coffee drinker. Like I go from one cup a day to three cups a day and if I stop one day I will have a headache.” said Voyo. 38. ________ is grown in Yang Lin’s hometown. A. Coffee B. Tea C. Both coffee and tea D. Neither coffee nor tea 39. Yang Lin usually ________ coffee with her workmates in a café. A. collects B. drinks C. cooks D. sells 40. The smell of Fujian tea ________.

A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了中国年轻人杨林和Voyo在移居美国后，从只喝茶转变为同时喜欢喝咖啡的经历。文章通过她们的亲身经历，探讨了咖啡和茶在不同文化背景下的社交意义和个人情感寄托。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Yang Lin lives in the U.S. but comes from an area in China famous for growing tea.”可知，杨林的家乡产茶。故选B。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“She and her workmates like to sit in a café and talk over a cup of coffee.”可知，杨林通常和同事在咖啡馆里喝咖啡。故选B。 【40题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“So now, even the smell of Fujian tea brings back these warm family memories.”可知，福建茶的味道让杨林想起了她的家人。故选B。 【41题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第五段“We would call her a coffee convert, someone who now chooses to drink coffee.”和第六段“I used to be a tea drinker before I came to the United States. But now I am a coffee drinker”可推知，“a coffee convert”指的是一个从喝其他饮品转变为喝咖啡的人。故选A。 D When Abraham Lincoln was young, he worked in a store. One day a woman came into the store and bought some things. They added up to two dollars and six and a quarter cents. The bill was paid, and the woman was satisfied. But the young storekeeper, not feeling quite sure about his calculations(计算), added up the things again. To his surprise, he found that it should have been but two dollars. ＂I’ve made her pay six and a quarter cents more,＂ said young Abe, upset. It was an unimportant thing, and many salespersons would forget it, but Abe was too careful for that. The money must be paid back, he decided. At night, he closed the store and walked to the home of his customer. He explained the matter, paid over the six and a quarter cents, and returned satisfied. Here is another story of young Lincoln’s strict honesty. A woman entered the store and asked for half a pound of tea. The young man weighed it out. This was the last sale of the day. The next morning, when beginning his duties, Abe discovered a four-ounce weight on the scales(磅砰). It flashed upon him at once that he had used this in the sale last night, and so, of course, given his customer short weight. Many people would not have been much worried by this discovery. But Abe weighed out four ounces of the tea, shut up the store, and carried it to the customer. I think that the name, so often given in late times to President Lincoln, of ＂Honest Old Abe＂, was well deserved(应得的). 42. What did Abraham Lincoln use to be when he was young according to the passage? A. A teacher. B. A farmer. C. A storekeeper. D. A president. 43.

What can we know from the second story? A. Abe wasn’t worried by this discovery. B. Abe didn’t notice he put a four-ounce weight on the scales. C. Abe gave the customer enough weight at last. D. Abe gave his customer short weight on purpose. 【答案】42. C 43. B 44. D 45. C 【解析】 【分析】短文大意：本文讲述了亚伯拉罕﹒林肯在一家商店当管理员的故事。他把多收顾客的钱还回去，把少给顾客的茶叶给顾客补够，所以后来他值得被称为＂诚实的Abe＂。 【42题详解】 题意：根据短文，亚伯拉罕·林肯年轻时使用过什么？考查推理判断题。根据第一段的When Abraham Lincoln was young, he worked in a store.可知林肯年轻时在一家商店工作，故推断他是一名商店管理员，故选C。 【43题详解】 题意：根据这段话，亚伯拉罕·林肯年轻时是做什么的?考查推理判断题。根据第一段的When Abraham Lincoln was young, he worked in a store.可知林肯年轻时在一家商店工作，故推断他是一名商店管理员，故选C。 【44题详解】 题意：在第二个故事中他是什么时候发现自己的错误的?考查推理判断题。根据第五段The money must be paid back, he decided.和第六段At night, he closed the store and walked to the home of his customer. He explained the matter, paid over the six and a quarter cents, and returned satisfied.可知，当Abe发现计算错误，收错了钱，他去找那个顾客解释清楚，还回了那些多收的钱，故选B。 【45题详解】 题意：从第二个故事我们可以知道什么?考查推理判断题。根据最后一段的But Abe weighed out four ounces of the tea, shut up the store, and carried it to the customer.可知Abe称出四盎司茶叶，给那个顾客送去，所以从第二个故事中我们可以知道Abe最后给了那个顾客足够的茶叶，故选C。 第Ⅱ卷（非选择题 共60分） 四、词汇（本题共15小题；每小题1分, 满分15分） A. 请根据括号中的中文提示、英文释义或句意, 写出句中所缺单词, 使句子通顺。 46.

I always turn off the tap and lights after use, and I make sure to drop litter into the dustbin. Third, I shouted loudly or pushed in front of others in public places, which made some people unhappy. Now, I can behave politely in public. For example, I always offer my seat to the elderly or people in need on the bus. Fourth, I cared little about others’ needs in the past.

He became the winner of the 86th National Spelling Bee on May 30th, 2013. Arvind is 13 years old. This was the fourth time he took part in the competition. He placed ninth in 2010 and finished in third place in both 2011 and 2012. This year he could take home $30,000 for his hard work. Arvind is interested in math and science and he hopes to be a scientist one day. He also enjoys basketball very much. His favorite player is O’Neal. In the competition, students need to spell English words. It’s not very easy to spell out all the words. Because some of the words are very complicated to spell. The competition started in the U.S. in 1925, and now it’s popular all over the world. This year, 281 spellers from around the world took part in it. The spellers are between 8 and 14 years old. These students are wonderful, aren’t they? 31. Arvind first took part in the competition at the age of ________. A. 10 B. 11 C. 12 D. 13 32. Arvind likes ________. A. science, art and basketball B. math and art C. math, science and basketball D. art and music 33. The Chinese meaning of the underlined word “complicated” is ________. A. 简单的 B. 新颖的 C. 复杂的 D. 完整的 B Anne and Joseph are talking about an interesting question. Why do some people change their names? There can be many reasons. Hanna changed her name to Anne because she thought it would be easier for people to remember. Joseph is thinking about changing his name to an unusual name because he wants to be different. People have a lot of reasons for changing their names. Film stars, singers, sportsmen and some famous people often change their names because they want names that are not ordinary, or that have a special sound. They chose the “new names” for themselves instead of the names their parents gave them when they were born. Some people have another reason for changing their names. They have moved to a new country and want to use a name that is usual there. For example, Li Kaiming changed his name to Ken Lee when he moved to the United States. He uses the name Ken at his job and at school. But with his family and Chinese friends, he uses Li Kaiming. For some people, using different names makes life easier in their new country. In many countries, a woman changes her family name to her husband’s after she gets married. But today, many women are keeping their own family names and not using their husband’s. Sometimes, women use their own names in some situations and their husbands’ in other situations. And some use both their own names and their husbands’. 34. Hanna changed her name to________. A. Anne B. Hans C. Hnne D. Anna 35. Joseph is thinking about changing his name because he wants to _______. A. move to another place B. have a name with a special sound C. be different D. make life easier in a new country 36. In many countries, a woman changes her family name to her husband’s _______. A. in all situations B. because she loves her husband C. before she gets married D. after she gets married 37. People change their names and _______ for it. A. there is only one reason B. there are two reasons C. there may be many reasons D. there are five reasons C Many young Chinese people drink coffee when meeting with friends. Yang Lin lives in the U.S. but comes from an area in China famous for growing tea. She used to only drink tea while in China. But now, she says, she drinks both for different reasons. “I would say...I was a tea drinker when I was in China. But now, you know, with the influence of different holiday drinks...I think I like coffee as well as tea now.” Yang Lin says that drinking coffee for her is a social event. She and her workmates like to sit in a café and talk over a cup of coffee. Tea, she says, is more about family memories. She grew up in Fujian Province—an area known for its tea. Ms. Yang says that as a child, her family would get together in the evening and talk about the day’s events over a pot of tea. So now, even the smell of Fujian tea brings back these warm family memories. Voyo is another Chinese woman who now lives in Washington D.C. She says that after moving to the U.S. her tastes changed. We would call her a coffee convert, someone who now chooses to drink coffee. “I used to be a tea drinker before I came to the United States. But now I am a coffee drinker and actually getting to be a very heavy coffee drinker. Like I go from one cup a day to three cups a day and if I stop one day I will have a headache.” said Voyo. 38. ________ is grown in Yang Lin’s hometown. A. Coffee B. Tea C. Both coffee and tea D. Neither coffee nor tea 39. Yang Lin usually ________ coffee with her workmates in a café. A. collects B. drinks C. cooks D. sells 40 The smell of Fujian tea ________. A. brings Yang Lin back to her family B. reminds Yang Lin of her family C. is often sent to Yang Lin D. improves the memory of Yang Lin 41. The phrase “a coffee convert” in Paragraph 5 means a person who used to have other drinks ________ a coffee drinker now. A. becomes B. hates C. finds D. leaves D When Abraham Lincoln was young, he worked in a store. One day a woman came into the store and bought some things. They added up to two dollars and six and a quarter cents. The bill was paid, and the woman was satisfied. But the young storekeeper, not feeling quite sure about his calculations(计算), added up the things again. To his surprise, he found that it should have been but two dollars. ＂I’ve made her pay six and a quarter cents more,＂ said young Abe, upset. It was an unimportant thing, and many salespersons would forget it, but Abe was too careful for that. The money must be paid back, he decided. At night, he closed the store and walked to the home of his customer. He explained the matter, paid over the six and a quarter cents, and returned satisfied. Here is another story of young Lincoln’s strict honesty. A woman entered the store and asked for half a pound of tea. The young man weighed it out. This was the last sale of the day. The next morning, when beginning his duties, Abe discovered a four-ounce weight on the scales(磅砰). It flashed upon him at once that he had used this in the sale last night, and so, of course, given his customer short weight. Many people would not have been much worried by this discovery. But Abe weighed out four ounces of the tea, shut up the store, and carried it to the customer. I think that the name, so often given in late times to President Lincoln, of ＂Honest Old Abe＂, was well deserved(应得的). 42 What did Abraham Lincoln use to be when he was young according to the passage? A. A teacher. B. A farmer. C. A storekeeper. D. A president. 43. When young Abe found he made a wrong calculation, he ________. A. tried to forget it B. paid over the money C. felt it was unimportant D. gave hack the short weight 44. When did he find his mistake in the second story? A. At the end of that day. B.

They are very friendly. They can do many things for people. Some dogs help people to look after sheep, other dogs help them to find the lost children. And some of the dogs can help the blind. There is a kind of dog. His name is Seeing Eye dog. Now we can see this kind of dog all over the world. They are working for the blind. The Seeing Eye dog is strong and easy to train. He helps the blind to walk from place to place. Before a dog becomes a Seeing Eye dog, he must go to a training school for about three months. First the dog has to learn to sit or stay when he hears the trainer’s call. In his next lesson the dog learns to take his trainer across busy streets. The dog has many things to learn. Near the end of the training school he must take tests. When he passes the test, the Seeing Eye dog will do things by himself. Now he can help the blind people. The new master may be a man, a woman, or even a child. It takes the dog and his blind master about a month to learn to work and live together. 76.
